A Prnirie Yacht.

The prairie yacht, which should not by any
means be COMPOUNDED with the prairie
schooner of emigrant days, is about the
strangest sailing craft of which there IS any
record. DR.. H. NJ Wheeler, Of Grand
Forks. ID. r., is the genius who conceived the
idea of skmmng over the snow covered
plains Of the west by the aid of the wind, and,
as the picture viii make apparent, he mod
eled his machine on the ice yachts OF the
Hudson. The chief difference between
the ice yacht and the prairie yacht,
indeed. is that whereas the runners of the

THE CALHOUN MONUMENT.
Il Will BE Unveiled nc Charleston on

The Goth Of April next will be day Of i'm
portance in Charleston, S. C., for on that date
will there be unveiled the monument 70 John
c. Calhoun that has been made 10y Mr.. Albert

Calhoun was great figure in the history
OF South Carolina, and, indeed, his namc Is
written in large characters upon the pages OF
the annals Of the nation. The movement to
erect the monument was set on foot IN 1904,
when eleven ladies met, formed an associa-
ton for the purpose of raising funds and set
TO work. BY the end Of the year $1,000 had
been raised, and canvassers were sent Quito
augment this sum- BY 1860 it had been in
creased to 100000, and the money came
from rich and poor alike. Then came the
war. and OF course there was cessation OF
efforts in behalf of the fund But 1T was not
lost in the general wreck of fortunes which
accompanied the struggle, and this happy re-

Early Days on the Chippewa.
BY A PIONEER.


My ambition for running 'Jim's.Falls'
was fully satisfied now, but the indOm-
liable Tim Hurley, who seemed to en-
JOY danger with a keener relish than
most men, pleaded for one more trial;
and so it was decided, by unanimous
consent of the crew, and ge made the
third and last effort with still greater
trouble if possible, for this time the
raft was banged about amongst the
rocks and crushed to pieces, and the
fragments sunk by the strong current
against a rock that stood foot or two
above water, and upon this rock We
scrambled in very much of a hurry.
Our territory here was small, ten feet
in diameter, perhaps, but secure from
intrusion, for it really looked like no
craft could reach US without being
carried over the reef and to distruc-
ton, as we were only little distance
above it, not a predicament to beget
the most pleasant and assuring rehec-
tons. but we knew that whatever men
could do for US would be done, and
felt of more value than dead men,
here on this little rock.
Well. in course of half a day or so
an Indian in his bark canoe made his
appearance on the wild waters above
US, dropping from rock to rock, until
our location was reached, and skipping
across the mad waters from the eddy
of one rock to another, with a dexter.
ity only attainable by these savages
that we assume to dispise, he put us
one at a time, on shore; and this was
the last effort made at that time to
run these falls. What stuff we had
was turned loose into the current and
driven over and picked up below.
Reader, did you ever feel that life
was gone, or recovered after being
given upl AS I stood on safe land
again looking back st the perilous
situation you must not blame me for q
fervent emotion Of thankfulness, en-.
during as life; the despised Indian gol
the better OF me here in rendering
invaluable service for q multitude OF
hates. A tiny drop from heaven, may
be. touched his heart. May the rec
objection of his favof ever soften ant
mitigate the rancor OF my thoughts
towards him and h.s kindred. for saw
agery, they are not al hate.
